I need advice.

hello. I am a 28 years old, 5 years as a nurse, I was recently offered a job in 2 different hospitals. One, was a telemetry nurse, night shift in a big and top hospital in Illinois. The other one, was from a community hospital and the job position offered was as clinical education patient coordinator RN, day shift and a nursing admin category. I am really confused which one to pick because I am still young and that my only experience is being a nurse in a nursing home. I was promoted as an evening supervisor there too. I am torn which one to choose because both of it has its pros and cons. I dont want to work night shift because its not healthy for me because I tried it before. The thing is, i know its hard to be accepted in a big hospital and maybe this opportunity will not knock on my door anymore. Meanwhile, the other job offer as a pt. coordinator is like part of the administration and it works as a nurse who is educating patient upon discharge. I am tired of doing floor nursing as well but i dont want to let go of working in a top hospital and learn a lot of new skills. I need advice my fellow nurses. If i were you, which one will you choose?? thank you very much. All your opinions will be very much appreciated.

And your reason for not staying where you are?

Do what you love! You said you want to get away from bedside, and a nurse educator role opens lots of doors, go for it!

I am in similar dilemma but I won't go into mine since this is about you. I will say that if you know you are not a night person, DON'T DO NIGHTS!! I tried it thinking I could. It made me sick, every single time and took me days to recover. Sometimes it's OK to say : "I don't do nights." You have to set boundaries. Good luck to you and ultimately we will both choose what is best for us!
